Beautiful shot Gerda!! Love how the blooms were captured in progression from the bud on the left to the bloom on the right. Judy #93092Gerda Grice May 26, 2019
Thank you very much, Judy. I had no previous acquaintance with freesia (except for references to it in a novel) before I bought the stems I photographed in this and several other pictures I took of them around Easter time. I really loved the flowers. They're so delicate. Thanks again. -Gerda #93100LJ Corliss May 26, 2019
